While on the subject of HTOP internals, at the bottom of its screen it shows a list of keyboard shortcuts, one of which is F10 for Exit. The issue I have with that is Konsole has taken over that shortcut for its menus, hence it doesn't work in HTOP. How do I change that?

Htop's keybinds don't seem to be overridable in any obvious way.

https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/blob/4102862d12695cdf003e2d51ef6ce5984b7136d7/Action.c#L693 (sort of hand-rolling your own compiled package or binary, which isn't a great idea unless it really, *really* bugs you.)

You can just use 'q' instead as an alternative. cf: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/htop.1.html#INTERACTIVE_COMMANDS

Thanks Will, I had been using ctrl-c to terminate it, I'll use q instead. Does the same thing apply to Konsole which seems to internally be taking that shortcut?

Also does the same issue apply to HTOP relative to what devices it is monitoring? It seems to me that when the machine says the hard disks/ssd are being thrashed and HTOP says there is nothing doing any I/O's that it is not monitoring the right devices.
